Mark your calendars, The Atlanta Blade Show is purported to be the largest blade show in the U.S. A number of our Richmond members are thinking about attending. Richmond Balintawak - Atlanta member Armas Filomeno will be attending as a member of Doug Marcaida's group. Details to follow.

GM Taboada will be visiting Richmond Balintawak to lead an intensive training session! GM Taboada will be sharing his unique brand of Balintawak known for it's speed, power, and control. Whether you are new to Balintawak or a seasoned practitioner of the art, you will walk away with something that will elevate your game. Don't miss this increasingly limited opportunity to get the details directly from the man himself.

Until they sell out, we have 18 coveted "Richmond Balintawak" branded rattan sticks available for purchase. These were recently brought back from the Philippines by Jemar. They are thicker and heavier than the previous sticks he has sourced. According to Jemar, these are likely to be the last sticks he is able to procure from his un-identified source for awhile. Initially, I will be limiting purchases to one stick per member until everyone has an opportunity to get one. If there are any leftover, additional purchases will be allowed. The cost is $10 each, cash only, and you must come to the gym to get one, no mail or phone orders and no shipping. Sale begins tomorrow, Saturday, 1/20/18.

Effective immediately (4/14) we are canceling the Friday night 6:30 pm class due to lack of interest. We hope to add additional classes in the future but are subject to the Revolution BJJ schedule. So stay tuned . . .

CBT is a Reality Based Approach to surviving bladed encounters, distilled from Guro Teague's extensive research, expertise, and experiencein Military Combat Operations and Filipino Martial Arts, that can be used as a self contained system or to augment your current training.

Sorry for the last minute update but Richmond Balintawak will be closed today due to inclement weather. Stay safe and warm everyone and we will see you next class (unless we don't because of more bad weather... but we aren't planning on that... you know what I mean.)

While we won't be having a formal class, several of the instructors will be around to play and help you work through anything you've been thinking about. So come work off that Yule Log! Happy New Year everyone!

We will be taking a break from class on December 26th, 2015 to spend time with our friends and family. Classes will resume as normal Wednesday December 30th, 2015. Merry Christmas from everyone at Richmond Balintawak!
